Fun site, the magic is this one line: " Need a custom logo? Let’s chat! yo@metafizzy.co " The chance of you needing one of the pre-existing logos is small, the chance of needing a logo period is higher, and seeing the portfolio of logos gives you a starting point to imagine things. The only negative is that it might anchor you emotionally to a lower than average price if the current logo price is small enough. The we…

For all we know, these could be throw away's from previous work the designer did with other customers. "One man's trash..."

Yes - he said on his site that he wanted to do more logos, so he just did 50 in a row for fun. Now he's selling his "practice" work. Profit!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You get the illustrator files if you buy the logo, otherwise you only have a thumbnail.

These thumbnails are clean enough to be loaded into Illustrator and recaptured using the vectorize tool. Not sure about Inkscape. How much would people pay for such tracing do you think?

Does it matter? Vectorize the thumbnail all you want, you still don't own the logo.

Whoever buys the "A-Ok" logo is going to have a very rough internationalization experience if they try to bring their product to Brazil...

Could you elaborate? Not sure what you mean.

it's an obscene gesture, like the middle finger.

Have you considered that maybe he's using this pricing model because it's novel and entertaining? Perhaps maximizing his profits isn't his goal; it doesn't always have to be. Plus, any logos he doesn't sell in this scheme can just be sold individually later on. I have never previously cared even a little bit about a designer selling logos, but this one really caught my attention because of the unusual pricing scheme.

This is a very interesting pricing model. As the supply decreases the equilibrium price is forced to rise regardless of demand. Also interesting that theoretically worse logo options are what's left at a higher price in the end. Could put pressure on buyers to just settle and go with something.

Isn't the quality of the logos left really dependent on the ability of previous purchasers to pick the better quality logos? I would say that it isn't necessarily true that the worst logos are last, much depends on the customers. Plus, it is a fairly subjective metric. (obviously there is a floor here)

Did anyone else expect this to be pizzas sold at a discount offset by having a company's logo burnt into the cheese?

Can I pay extra and have a custom image burned into the pizza instead? Would be great for parties.

Reminds me of a local pizza place that will make the pizza in a heart shape for $2 more. Of course, my wife and I just had to buy one. The chef and the waitress actually went out of their way to let us photo it before cutting and everything. Way more than $2 additional work, IMO. If we weren't both dieting, we'd still be eating there quite often.

> I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful. It hasn't. You failed at your research. In art, this is quite common. As an artist gains notoriety, their work goes up in price. How much do you think Picasso sold his early works for? How much do you think Picasso paintings are worth now? Also, Minecraft started out cheap and got more expensive over time.

condescendence's point is not that there is nothing in the world which goes up in value over time.

Better not try to make condescendence's argument with any collectors.

Wouldn't it make more sense that the price would go down as more are purchased, as the most popular logos are already taken? Is someone really going to pay $1000 for 'Mr. Grin'

Not really, this way you find the price people are willing to pay for your product
